All Rights ReservedApple's iPhone 5 Prototype Now Out in the Wild, Says Report Upon Apple&#39;s (AAPL) unveiling of the third-generation iPad analysts and bloggers were surprised to find... a total lack of surprise. Nearly every feature -- from the Retina Display to the 4G networking support from AT&amp;T (T) and Verizon (VZ) -- had been detailed and expected days even months ahead of the launch. Not since an Apple staffer drunkenly left behind an iPhone 4 in a German beer garden two months prior to its unveiling had so much wind been taken out of Apple&#39;s usually secretive sails. At that point we had to wonder: Have we seen the end to ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/04/09/apples-iphone-5-prototype-now/
Mon, 9 Apr 2012 13:34:00 EDTiPhone Can't Match Android's Versatility, Says Steve Wozniak Two years ago Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Wozniak had some kind words to say about Google&#39;s (GOOG) mobile OS Android. Speaking with the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf Wozniak correctly predicted that Google would eventually nab the dominant smartphone market share from Nokia (NOK) and RIM (RIMM) and -- despite claiming that Apple&#39;s then-latest iPhone was a leader in quality -- he lamented that it just wasn&#39;t as versatile as Android devices. &quot;Android phones have more features &quot; the Woz said. Presumably his comments garnered some PR flak because Wozniak later stressed to Engadget that every app he&#39;s used on ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/01/17/iphone-cant-match-androids-versatility/
Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:43:00 EDTIs Apple's Siri an iPhone Data Hog? Apple (AAPL) gives the iPhone 4S a personality and suddenly it needs to feed. One-upping Google&#39;s (GOOG) Voice Command for the Android Siri is the virtual assistant for the iPhone 4S which allows for task management and data retrieval based on voice commands. It&#39;s become a huge selling point for Apple&#39;s latest flagship phone but Arieso Chief Technology Officer Michael Flanagan thinks it&#39;s a huge drain on data. In an interview with Bloomberg Flanagan suggested that Siri was responsible for iPhone 4S users to consume nearly twice as much data as iPhone 4 users and even three times as ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/01/06/is-apples-siri-an-iphone/
Fri, 6 Jan 2012 12:11:00 EDTConsumer Reports Warms Up to iPhone, But Not as Much as Android For nearly a year and a half Consumer Reports was largely a reviewer alone. Despite nearly universal acclaim and its placement at the top of critics&#39; must-have lists the iPhone 4 didn&#39;t get much love from Consumer Reports. The lukewarm reception was due to well lukewarm reception. The publication couldn&#39;t wholeheartedly recommend Apple&#39;s smartphone due to the infamous dropped signals that occurred if the device was held in a certain way. Apple played damage control but Consumer Reports held firm in its reservations. But that has changed with the release of the iPhone 4S. With fewer bugs to speak ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2011/11/08/consumer-reports-warms-up-to/

His drive his forethought his unibody-iron fist -- all made up one of the greatest CEOs the tech world has ever seen. To try to emulate him would be an act of futility. And Steve knew it.
